leadership temple
Leadership Temple is a professional development and education program that surveys the inner workings of Temple and Central Texas. The program helps both current and emerging leaders understand the dynamics of the community and the role leadership plays in its long-term success.
The 9-month program has class sessions once a month, typically on the second Tuesday. Topics covered include City, County, and State Government, Education, Fort Hood, Public Safety, Economic Development, Social Services, and Healthcare.
The curriculum informs participants about Temple’s history, government, economy, social issues, needs, and opportunities, along with the existing processes for dealing with them. It facilitates opportunities for dialogue among participants and current community, business, and non-profit leaders. It also encourages participants to engage in activities that contribute to the growth and betterment of the community.
Participants are required to complete four outside activities-attending a City Council and School Board meeting and completing two group service projects, one in the fall and one in the spring.
The objective is to have participants emerge from the program with an unprecedented level of community awareness, a strengthened network, and insights they can apply in the workplace.
